For Umaira, soccer is more than a game.

It’s what she misses most about home, being in the street, running around with friends. It’s also an outlet. Last week, Global Village Project was featured by @285southatl in a story about something simple, but powerful: girls finding a shared language through soccer. Through our transformative partnership with @soccerstreets, our students come together to play, many for the first time since leaving their home countries. What looks like a game is also something deeper: release, connection, and a chance to just be kids. This is part of our model, supporting not only academic growth, but healing, confidence, and belonging. Thank you to @amnasubhan for capturing the heart and impact of our mission with such care. ▶ Read the full story, link in bio #GlobalVillageProject #RefugeeEducation #SoccerInTheStreets #PowerInEveryRefugeeGirl
